| This is the string trio that used to play at dances in and around the Osbornville area. (They would have played at the Morganville Picnic, too). Ida Morgan Andrews told her sons about dancing to this group when she was young. She was born in 1870, so this picture is probably late 1880's or early 1890's, likely taken in Blue Mound or Taylorville. The men are (at left) Johnny Morgan , (at right) his brother Wallace Morgan , and (center) their brother-in-law Frank Baker . Johnny and Wallace were sons of Levi Morgan , also of Christian Co IL. Frank married Addie Morgan , daughter of Levi. Levi was also a great fiddler in his younger days. They used to hold dances upstairs in Bill Morgan 's store in Osbornville. Levi and his wife, Sara , lived across the creek from Buzzard Roost School. |
